YT recommended me this vid:
Regarding the Air RB part: My initial assessment / prediction was fully confirmed - the way lower strike aircraft spawn enforces low alt fights in which the plane runs of energy extremely fast - so you will become a BnZ target for every enemy above 2 km altitude…

For the sake of completeness - comments and response:

Sorry man, but i strongly disagree with your assessment that the Fw 189 C would be a viable option for Air RB - the BR of 2.7 is (way) too high; 2.3 or even 2.0 would be more adequate if you look at the competition at this BR.
Your own vid showed quite impressively that the attacker spawn kills the dominance of the ultra-rare Fw 189 A-1 with a bomber spawn.
You got away with some kills of rookies, but you were most of the time low and slow being more or less helpless vs any BnZ attack. If you would have flown the C-3604 without the instructor you would have noticed that you can turn with most of your enemies too - but you have a way better flight performance and fantastic firepower.
So whilst i have some understanding for your “buy” recommendation as gaijin partner - i recommend to fly a few thousand matches around BR 2.7 - 3.3 to understand that the Fw 189 C will get smoked by the dominant planes there: B-239, Yak-7b, Yak-1B or the way too low MB 157 thanks to the frequent uptiers to Rank III daily task players - without ever having a chance to bring guns on target.

bro thinks i get paid to promote premiums, crazy.
Response to that:
No - i pointed out that i have some understanding for your recommendation - the rest is your interpretation.
I explained rather detailed why the plane has a too high BR - if you would have any clue about the actual reality in Air RB you would have been able to notice that i posted constructive criticism - and you replied with an assumption instead of dealing with reality.
Playing for Germany at this BR is actually a challenge even for long term players as the MM creates (depending on daytime and server) mostly very small 6-8 vs 6-8 lobbies based on the still active axis vs allies MM.
A downside of the popularity of Germany as a Ground RB nation is leading to the fact that German teams end up flying mostly twin-engine CAS aircraft vs often severely undertiered US/UK/France single engine fighters in in more or less infinite uptier loops to 3.3 or even 3.7 battles - whilst your German team has often not a single 3.0/3.3 Bf 109 or Fw 190 to counter them.
Based on roughly 30k Air RB matches at ww2 BRs i would even claim that German props around BR 2.7 are in a systemic disadvantage vs any other nation as the average player has neither the experience nor the necessary passion to make rather good planes like the Bf 109 E-3/4/7 work - the fights are mainly furballs (German team rarely climb) and head-ons in infinite loops which favors 0.50 cal or 20mm ShVak users.
Except the already mentioned C-3604 (which is able to beat any USSR aircraft - with disabled instructor) and the premium (captured) Yak-1B Germany lacks beginner-friendly aircraft at this BR.
When i look at the completely broken Yak-2 KABB at BR 2.3 (!!!) or the 2.7 MiG 3 (both with 2 center-mounted 20mm ShVaks - same as the cannon Chaika at the same BR) only fools would argue that the Fw 189 C has an adequate BR for Air RB.
That’s the reason why i posted - not because you are a gajin partner.
i personal have to play with my hair like this girl do to remove my stress when bug report don’t get seen after long time of research.
